Poor Tom. I heard the recording of him going off yesterday. I am not 100% certain, but I don't think he gives two craps about Covid. I think he was worried about people on the set getting caught in violation of whatever rules are in place now to "allow" people to work on films. He referenced how many people in his industry have been ruined because of this.
Hollywood does contribute a lot of tax dollars. But last I heard, it’s not nearly enough to keep CA solvent. The state will need a massive federal bailout to avoid a financial disaster.tomfoolery wrote: ↑Thu Dec 17, 2020 2:29 pm Of course I think the state shouldn’t be closed, but Hollywood is subsidizing the closure of the rest of the state.
I heard it's a problem with demand. They just need demand "stimulated'. UBI will solve this. If you disagree you just don't understand human nature Turtleman. The people need money! They can't buy stuff if they gots no money!Tortoise wrote: ↑Thu Dec 17, 2020 2:36 pmHollywood does contribute a lot of tax dollars. But last I heard, it’s not nearly enough to keep CA solvent.

Right.
I've got a Nobel Prize winning economist Mr. Paul Krugman who would beg to differ. The solution to a drop in tax revenue is to spend more on public employee salaries so they can pay more in taxes back and spend that money and then the recipients pay more. It's all very simple. What Kalifornia should do is make their own printing press. See if it works for the feds it will work for CA.Tortoise wrote: ↑Thu Dec 17, 2020 3:41 pmRight.
It's a problem with government income vs. expenditures. If you forcibly shut down most of the small businesses in your state (which CA did), your tax revenue goes way down. And if you don't correspondingly reduce expenditures on public employee salaries and benefits (which CA didn't), you run into an obvious cash flow problem.
I'm asking if there are any specific damaging anything regarding her and Swalwell's relationship or whatever went on between them. I know little about this.
"A small percentage of the population said they thought it would be way more efficient for the economy if the government just didn't take the money in the first place. These people were shouted down as "libertarian conspiracy theorist wackos" and told to move to Somalia."

the gyroscopic bee
in a bold political move on his first day in office presidential place holder Joe Biden has signed an executive order to provide relief to the countries struggling satire writers. in a rousing, rambling and largely incoherent speech to to the assembled press Biden showed great compassion for the despondent humorists struggles, "our nations satirist are really struggling right now, they put all their heart and soul into writing outlandish comedic descriptions of human behavior, only to be crushed by some guy, who inevitably comes along and points out that people are actually doing what they have described and are doing so in a way that is completely serious, and with total conviction. "i mean come on man".
Reports indicate that the suicide rate for satirists is now at a all time high. The new executive order, which will provide all satire writers with a pair of size 20 shoes and a red rubber nose, is projected to help these poor despondent individuals get the laughs that they work so hard to achieve in these difficult times..
in other news Biden has just written a executive order banning clowns on behalf of the very vocal and politically important Coulrophobia justice groups.. and there is now talk of adding a C to the LGBTQ alphabet list..
I saw this too. Awesome.Tortoise wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 11:25 am In an earpiece fail, Lawfully Elected President Biden says "Salute the marines" instead of actually saluting them:
